HMM, i wud say renal correction wud result in acidosis, if ur thinking only in terms kidney.
here priority becomes to loose k+.
the resiratory correction is set at a level to correct extra h+ in the extra cellular fluid and that conserved by kidney.

Addison's dz --> Decreased aldostrone--->HyprKalemia , Metabolic acidosis
Hyperkalemia----> INCREASED aldostrone ---> metablic acidosis
K+ sparing diuretics ----> Decreased aldostrone---> Hyper kalemia , Metabolic acidosis.
( Conn's dz )----> incresed Aldostrone ---> HYPO kalemia , metabolic alkalosis,
how could Decreased and Increased of Aldostron ends to same result ?
or how could Increased Aldostrone ends to both acidosis and alkalosis ?
:-?

oh bro increased aldosteron does not cuz acidosis, it's seen in acidosis.
where it plays part in correction of hyperkalemia.
take a look at ur comment above , in conn's u say that there is hyperaldosteronism, this the primary defect which leads to hypokalemia.
this clarifies that increased aldosteton DOES NOT CAUSE acidosis.
there is diff when u say some thing causes this effect and something is seen in a particular physiological abnormality.

there are many things in physiology where u wud see diff effects by same agent depending on it's concentration.
e.g. hypervitaminosis D or hypovit. D will result in osteoporosis.
like wise u may find increased or decreased levels of aldosteron in acidosis, u have to know what is the primary insult and then the bodies defense mechanisms that too on a priority basis!!
